The Port Moresby based West Eagles Australian Football League (AFL) club has secured grand final spots in both the Reserve and A Grade division after a tough 2022 season.
President of the Port Moresby AFL Association Mr. Douglas Lai confirmed that in the Reserve the Eagles will meet the Gordons Kokofas, while in the A Grade the Eagles will meet Concept Koboni. “
The club has performed very well this season through some good management of the teams,” said the president.
Meanwhile, this grand final showdown will be the first time after two years since the last proper grand final match was held. Mr. Lai said since the government endorsed the COVID-19 restrictions, the Port Moresby AFL Moni Plus competition did not have proper seasons in 2020 and 2021 which led to the competition having to call off the grand finals.
However, all these has changed this year and he is pleased to finally have a grand final match on Saturday. According to the schedule for this weekend, the Reserve grand final is expected to take place at 12pm while the A Grade grand final match, which is the main event, is expected to be played out 2pm.
All the matches will be played out at the home of Port Moresby AFL, the Colts Oval.
